Here is an easy way to do a silhouette. The birds are punched from black paper using the Bird Builder Punch. They are adhered directly to the card. This is a regular size card (5.5" x 4.25") and there really is not room for 3 full size birds so the one on the left is only a partial bird.
The background was sponged on: Old Olive on the bottom, So Saffron, Calypso and Tangerine on top. I really like the look of the green on this card, it reminds me of low growing bushes. I love the birds silhouetted against this sponged landscape.
The sentiment fits so nicely in the narrow empty space at the bottom of the card. That sentiment is from a set called Curly Cute.

This card was part of a group of cards we did for this month's technique: Sponged Landscapes. Check back over the next several days to see other cards with sponged landscape backgrounds. A few have green foliage like this one. Others have a snow drift base. And hey, we just got some snow. Finally. Southern Wisconsin is supposed to have snow in December!

Happy Stamping
